Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

I was there in last month and prices were great value. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
